DESPICABLE ME -- DECENT. Not the best but it had heart... mildly entertaining.

The Maltese Falcon - Never seen it before. Heard much about it, but luckily didn't know the ending until I saw it. Pretty entertaining film. But there's a bonus feature on the Blu-ray that was a fun surprise. Someone posted it on YouTube. Here's part one.

After hearing the reviews of all the critics who said it was mediocre, I really wanted to try this film out and see for myself. In my honest opinion, I think this movie was very mediocre. Yeah, I confessed that I laughed more than a few times, and the gadgets were cool and all but storywise the movie was very abrupt in introducing the characters, as well as the storyline. It wasn't good or bad, it just wasn't.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD -- So entertaining and funny. Bummer I waited this long to finally see it.

The Social Network

VERY good. Brilliantly acted, directed and of course written. For a movie that is about the creation of Facebook, it's really NOT about the creation of Facebook. Sure, Facebook is the driver of the movie, but it's really about Ambition, Acceptance, Friendship, Deceit, Jealousy more than a movie about "technically" creating Facebook.

Highly recommended.

Just a fun, mindless action movie. I know some people were bashing it for being far-fetched and corny, but the TV show was all of these things.

RETURN OF THE JEDI -- most of it. I dozed off but haha... I've seen this so many times. It was more for just comforting sounds while I snooze.

^ Whenever I'm sick and need to sleep, I'll put on Star Wars because I can just close my eyes and listen and know everything that's happening on the screen. :D

True Grit. The Coen Brothers know how to write such unique characters and get such great performances out of everyone. Jeff Bridges and the girl who plays Mattie are really good. Overall, I think I expected too much due to too much hype, so ultimately the movie still fell a bit short for me. It probably didn't help that my favorite Coen Bros film, No Country For Old Men, is somewhere in my top 20 of all time.

Star Wars Episode 1-Phantom Menace-It's been a while since I have seen this movie, now I know why. I dozed off near the end of the movie.Knowing-yawn I think the only good Nicholas Cage movie is Valley Girl.

From my DVD library:

Casablanca - Wanted to see it for a long time and finally watched it. Very good movie. Didn't know Peter Lorre (20,000 Leagues) and Claude Rains (Invisible Man) were in it prior to watching it. Here's lookin' at you kid.

3:10 to Yuma - Wanted to revisit this one since watching True Grit. Excellent. Great western!

Thought it was actually pretty stupid. I expected more out of it to be honest. And it needed more Eva Mendes.

I watched it tonight expecting to love it since a lot of people said it was stupid. I wasn't expecting much and well... I didn't get much. It really is kind of stupid. I laughed at some moments but overall it was a bit flat.

Sometimes, when you play it TOO straight, it's just not fun anymore. The intro to the movie was great though. That's kind of what I wanted to see more of. More over-the-top.

^ I agree, the intro with Samuel L Jackson and The Rock was great ... the movie didn't have enough of that.

Black Swan

Very strange, weird, but awesome and brilliantly acted. The only real issue I have with this movie is that they don't explain why she was hallucenating throughout the movie. Guess I'll have to watch it again to see if I missed anything.
